Find Me

Carolyn Dixon
While Jillian Steele bills the compositions on her debut EP as “songs about relationships”, the most important connections are not romantic entanglements. Rather, it is the singer-songwriter’s relationship with self that takes precedence. Whether chafing against the restraints of a possessive love interest or unrealistic expectations, Steele consistently writes and sings about women discovering strength from within. goodnighthestia.com/2017/03/11/jillian-steele/Favorite track: 23.

You introduce me to your friends and I pretend
The leash you got around my neck don’t faze me yet
But I’ve been staring at the door since half past ten
You should know I don’t like rules but I like you
Not enough to praise you like some fool
I’ve got better things to do

So tonight Imma fight
And I’ll be gone
Meet you later on

Chorus
All I wanna do is dance but I can’t with your hands
Tied around me let me breathe while I can while I am
Still young enough to be what I want
Baby I can be anything but I won’t be
I won’t be your property

Yeah I’m your girl but I don’t wanna be your world
Let’s just have fun with this why’s that seem so unheard of
Feels like a business deal that I’m just getting bored of
You should know it’s fun and games ‘til someone’s blamed
For all the pain and I’m not payin’ for any more of my mistakes

So tonight Imma fight
And I’ll be gone
Meet you later on

Chorus

I won’t sit looking pretty
Too good to be your arm piece
Imma break out of our lease
Break out of our lease

Chorus 2X

Track Name: Miles

You wake with a smile
But then by the night
You’re walking away again
I tell you come back
I don’t wanna fight
But for now I’ll just pretend

I know who you are when you’re not you
Disguising your face with the tattoos
I’m looking and dying to find truth

Chorus
Trying to run to keep up
I’m falling further and further each day
How can I sleep when I always feel
Miles and miles away
Trying to run to keep up
I’m falling further and further each day
How can I sleep when I always feel
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away

I’m in this to win
With us at the end
But I’m not even on your mind
You go through your day
Turning away
And I’m always left behind

Feels like I’m trying to turn back time
Like my finger’s glued to the rewind
But our song keeps skipping the same line

Chorus

And this race we’re running I don’t think we’re near the finish
And once we finally reach the end we won’t know what has hit us
Is it worth the chase ‘cause right now all I am is wishing
We could have stopped at the start

Chorus

Yeah miles and miles away

Track Name: 23

Long time love affair on my mind
You knew how I felt
But strung me along on your line of girls lined up
So I never got my hopes up
Not high not high

Now you’re into me
And you’re telling me
You’ve been waiting for me all this time
Should have known that this was just another trick
Then you hit me with your favorite line

Chorus
Be single for me when you’re 23
We’ll make the most of what we could be
But I’m sorry my friend this is the end
Done waiting for a boy who clearly doesn’t see
That I am my best me
I am my best me
And I won’t be waiting for nobody when I’m 23

All this feels like is old times
Should have known the real you would shine right on through
The second I gave you my time
So soak it in
Once again you win
But I’m fine I’m fine
Breaking from these chains that you love to make
And I’ll run far beyond the finish line
I’ll be so far gone
And when you hear this song
I hope you finally find some peace of mind

Chorus 2x

23 oh
When I’m 23 no

Track Name: Same Song

You’re the same song
The same voice
The same mistake
But I love how it sounds
When I make it each day

You’re the same beat
Melody
That I can’t erase
But I have to admit
That I love when it plays like

Chorus
(Oh’s)

And I know it’s a lie
So I don’t understand
Why I’m singing along
To the words I can’t stand

Like I’m sucked into your kiss
All over again
But it’s all I can listen to
Like I’m still hearing you go

Chorus

You’re the same song
The same song
The same oh ohhh
Same beat
Melody
The same oh ohhh
(2x)

Chorus

No I can’t shake this cadence
Wanna erase this playlist
But the hook digs into my skin
So I pull the bar back to the beginning again
(2x)
